Chapter 262 – Shock Spreads Across the Shinobi World!
The closer they got to Konohagakure, the more admiration and curiosity the resurrected shinobi felt for the Fifth Hokage — Uchiha Yuta.
Judging by the sheer power and tactics he had shown so far, Uchiha Yuta had already far surpassed even Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara from the Warring States Era.
That thought alone made several of the Edo Tensei-revived Kage cast complicated glances at Hashirama and Madara — equal parts envy, reverence, and disbelief.
Though Konoha had its fair share of questionable figures like Hiruzen Sarutobi, it also had a Hokage like Uchiha Yuta — a man who had elevated the village to unprecedented heights.
And that stirred envy in their hearts.
> "Watching this unfold is getting more and more entertaining."
The First Hokage — Hashirama Senju chuckled, plopping down casually on a nearby rock with a bright grin.
> "I'm looking forward to finally meeting the Fifth Hokage — Uchiha Yuta."
He then glanced sideways.
> "Monkey... when that time comes, you better kneel and apologize to him."
The Second Hokage — Tobirama Senju spoke coldly, his face devoid of expression.
> "I really can't stand what you did. If you don't admit your mistakes, maybe you should be nailed to the wall of shame forever."
> "He's right…"
The Fourth Hokage — Minato Namikaze gave a nod, his voice filled with frustration.
> "As a fellow Hokage, the things you did make me ashamed."
His fists tightened unconsciously. The thought of what his son — Naruto Uzumaki — endured after his and Kushina's death made Minato boil with regret.
> "Tch…"
The Third Hokage — Hiruzen Sarutobi scoffed and turned away. He wasn't about to kneel or apologize. What's done is done. Right or wrong, he was the Third Hokage — he wouldn't beg for forgiveness.
The surrounding Konoha elders — Hatake Sakumo, Shimura Danzō, Koharu Utatane, and Mito Homura — all sighed heavily.
Among them, Sakumo was the most composed. He just wanted to return to Konoha and see his son — Kakashi.
Back then, it was Hiruzen and the village elders who forced his hand, and Sakumo now regretted ever considering suicide as an escape.
As for Danzō, Koharu, and Homura, their expressions were far more complicated — filled with regret, guilt, and fear. When Uchiha Yuta's terrifying aura swept across the battlefield earlier, they had already crumbled internally.
Now that they'd been resurrected via Edo Tensei, facing Uchiha Yuta again felt like facing divine judgment.
The only comfort they had left?
That Hiruzen stood in front of them.
As long as the Third Hokage remained the primary target of scorn, they might avoid bearing the full wrath of the First and Second Hokage.

Suddenly—
> "Something's wrong...!"
A sharp voice pierced through the heavy air. It was White Zetsu.
> "Lord Madara, we've just confirmed… these massive screens aren't just here. They're everywhere — all across the Shinobi World!"
Gasps echoed around the battlefield.
Zetsu had ordered his clones to gather intel, and what he discovered left even him stunned:
Gigantic, floating screens had manifested in every single major location across the world — just like the one hovering here.
> "What?!"
> "There's one of these in every region of the Shinobi World?!"
> "What the hell is Uchiha Yuta planning…? Why display these things in every village?"
> "This is insane…"
The battlefield fell into stunned silence, broken only by scattered murmurs and disbelief. No one — not even the resurrected legends — could wrap their heads around it.
---
Uchiha Madara's eye twitched.
> "Impossible…"
He gritted his teeth. Up until now, he believed everything was under his control. But now?
It felt like he was just a pawn.
The true mastermind… might be Uchiha Yuta — the real final boss.
From within Konoha, he had shaken the entire Shinobi World.
> "This... this can't be…"
Even Obito Uchiha, wearing the mask of the so-called "Madara," stared in stunned silence. The sheer scale of Uchiha Yuta's strategy was beyond comprehension.
> "Hahaha… This is getting good."
It was Hashirama Senju who broke the tension, roaring with laughter.
> "Screens in every village? Hah! That means Yuta is playing the entire world like a gameboard!"
The joy and excitement in Hashirama's voice were hard to miss.
> "What kind of technique is this?"
Tobirama Senju, the brilliant creator of the Flying Thunder God and Edo Tensei techniques, shook his head.
Despite all his knowledge, he couldn't fathom how Uchiha Yuta had deployed such an enormous network of visual projection across the entire world simultaneously.
Was it ninjutsu? Genjutsu? Space-time manipulation?
None of it made sense.
All they knew was that Uchiha Yuta had done the impossible.
And whatever came next — the world would be watching.
